What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Okay, if cake #2 was a wedding cake, I take back everything I have against nontraditional wedding cakes. And the all white wedding cake was gorgeous.Today's cakes are truly a case of Beauty and the Beach.

As a die hard Phineas and Ferb fan, I'm a tiny bit disappointed that you didn't quote the Backyard Beach song. But, I'm a grown-up. I'll put on my big girl panties and bear up! Which is the opposite of bare up and would involve taking my big girl panties off. None of us want this...

Phineas and Ferb for the win! I LOVE these cakes! They all just amaze me! Is the fence edible on the lawn chair cake? And how do they keep the wave from crashing down? It looks so heavy. And those mini sandwiches are just so perfect! Also, Kristina H. must be a marine biologist or something. Those creatures look absolutely real!

Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today. We're going to make tons of awesome beach puns while surfing! Or looking at cakes. I still want to get my hands on one of those "Fireside Girls Handbooks." I bet they have a "Puns for beach cakes" section. And this entire post is it!

My eyes were feasting on all these glorious cakes. But my cheeks are now stiff from cringing and my teeth ache. All that sand looks way too real! I'm not sure I could eat any of the sandy cakes. (Although they're all too pretty for me to cut into anyway.) Nilla wafers, huh.

"How people can bring themselves to eat these exquisite creations, I'll never undersand."They're probably fake. At the bakery where I work most of the wedding cakes are fake--just fondant and decorations over styrofoam and maybe the top part is actual cake. I guess the bride and groom get to keep them though; maybe they keep them on display in their houses or something. I certainly would!

Sand eating: That's usually pica, which is eating a lot of weird stuff. Eating sand is usually a lack of iron. If you look at that Wiki link, be sure to click on the picture on the top right -- it'll show and tell you all the stuff found in a woman's stomach.

So off on a tangent here, but how long is everybody's summer vacation, on average? Because according to their intro song, Phineas and Ferb get 15 weeks, which is a whole month longer than we get around here. Lucky :)

I shoot wrecks, not people. People are treated to my *extensive* song repertoire.

How about a nice 'Macarena' marathon. Wait, that's redundant -- even I can't stand that one. 'Friday'? The William Shatner cover of 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' -- one of my purr-sonal favorites.

Perhaps you prefer poetry. But 'prefer' might not be the right word. I have a particular author in mind: Jeltz, by name. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz. You may have heard of him.

(Craig here. I scooped up Theardare on his way to Room 101 for a sound check. I gave him a scratch behind the ears and had him chase the laser pointer for a while. I keep telling him that Sunday Sweets doubting -- done gently -- is just an opinion; wreck doubting is questioning the Original Poster. At least he's content for now.)

I love Phineas and Ferb! These cakes are all awesome, but that first one really makes me smile :) I've been on a kick of painting characters from that show. I know you're all into Disney, I hope you have had a chance to watch it!
